So…….. upon careful re reading of documents…… I am enlightened to my past mistakes The sensor changing without using the knob switch is only in interaction/cooperation mode, (duh!!!). So let’s say you lock someone from TP scan mode and want to IFF. Best way is to select cooperation. Select fox 1, then un select it after seeing “C” or not. Or could switch fox1/coop sequence. Let’s say you enter lock from TP vertical scan, helmet, OPT, but don’t want to STT too long, you’ll have to lock with cooperation off. When you’re ready to IFF, select cooperation to see IFF status then switch coop off or it will keep giving them STT as long as laser range is present. Same with TP scan or even gun mode, inside 6.5 km, once it gets a laser return radar just locks (now that it’s not needed for ranging). And HUD will show radar mode.

Well, I did try to say “seemingly” identical, as in, as far as we can tell Because of course here the missile is generating the “activate seeker” command and not the plane sending it. Just trying to say there is nothing incompatible between STT and R-77, an overview of the airspace is not a requirement, and that these PD radars of the 80s were originally designed to transmit datalink during STT in any case. I wouldn’t be surprised if it used barker code like the R-27!

For Mi-24, we got a quick start guide early. It was nice. But know what we still only have?

It does not need to though. As the manufacturer describes it, the datalink process is seemingly identical to R-27 and that is the only interaction between it and the host during missile flight. It gets updates in Cartesian coordinates from the radar and target size. That’s all it needs. It even calculates pitbull on its own. And any R-27R/ER carrier can send datalink updates in STT for up to two missiles

Okay how is the TWS mode activated in N-001? In Su-27SK manual I find no switch labeled TWS/TWF and no radar function described as such.

One thing people can do atleast with FF is switch the ARU as they like. So you could say, potentially move it into “Hard” where each trim press will move stabilizer as little as possible. I just am not sure if the way it is adjusted is 2 position, easy or hard. Or if the two positions allow you to make small adjustments if actuated shortly.

Ah it makes sense you were referencing this! I just went through the radar section, I see it mentioning RVV-AE use with TWS, that R-27 use transitions to single target track. But not necessarily excluding R-77 with STT. But I understand if I missed something. It stills blows my mind reading this that it can fire multiple R-73 onto different TWS tracks The J-11A has a TWS mode in DCS, not real life. Not something the N-001 does, which is odd. But then again in MiG-29 9.12/13, it’s meant help fighting without datalink as it auto selects a target. I was very surprised when I found this out myself that it does not have it. But I guess different manufacturers just do things differently, maybe it was a requirement on original 9.12/9.13 N-019. What he showed is a radio technical manual for the Yemeni MiG-29SMT. It’s a good read if you can find it. I agree about TWS2, I’m sure it’s down to how they coded it way back then. I’m doubtful for a change, but if there a proper change to for it only emit a RWR scan indication, it would be a really nice feature to have. Maybe ED could tidy it up to pair with FF……..

When it’s available I’m sure it will be shared on the front page. The FC3 manual won’t help.

Fun fact, the prisms require their own heaters.

The trim actuators cover a set range. The ARU adjusts the control authority through speed and altitude. With that system active, I would think it only stay the same at high altitude where the ARU stays in “easy” or full authority mode.

If it can pull 9 G at 900 kmh, that’s 20 deg/s flat. For any EM chart, it is where 9 G and 20 deg/s intersect, a hair above Mach 0.75 at ground level

Well you don’t have proof R-77 can’t be fired from STT The J-11A radar only has a STT mode. That’s all it can use to fire. The N-001 was not capable of TWS. And it is what ED and Deka corroborate. Su-30MKK/MK2 N-001V/N-001VE can be capable of TWS firing of missiles as a customer option. But it must’ve been not purchased becuase I’ve since learned it is only capable of firing them in STT. (Edit: no longer needed). If you ever want to share your sources or the relevant parts such as the R-77 rocket design manual you mention, I’ll be happy to take a look at them.

Okay something definitely changed since I flew in dogfight server all the time many months ago. At low altitude I can now pull 9 G all through the expected speed range. It takes either almost or full back stick, but it does it. Maybe a stealth fix while they work on the FF…..

The radar range has been semi recently tweaked in the FC3 module to be very accurate. Expect it to be close.

Hmm, I wonder if it’s more of sub-1500m problem The dampeners do have filters that correct for altitude, Mach, IAS, AOA. Since it only reacts to movement, if it was too strong it could reduce max G. Unfortunately most dogfight and gun servers are at such low altitudes

What was your speed? I did between 900-1000 kmh it seems be oddly limited to 7.5-8 G

Rocket design book? Operating manual of what? All I know is R-77 definitely can work off STT. That’s how it was fired from J-11A, Su-30MKK, Su-30MK2

Okay but then is your problem with TJ radar or the R-77? Where have you read or seen that R-77 cannot be used STT?

The 18.1 deg/s tested in DCS is for 14,862 kg. As for 20 degree/s, I don’t know. It is never stated. I have found multiple charts in manuals showing 20 deg/s but they never say the weight or configuration. But I imagine it’s likely 550 kg-50% fuel and 2x R-27 + 2x R-73. This one is from a “study guide” for pilots that goes through details of the structure. Okay, maybe it’s 19.5 deg/s Here is it in a book but seems slightly different, shows it exceeding 20 deg/s. But of course I’m going to trust the obscure Soviet military training document over the book published in the 90s in America…..however it describes the chart as “turn rate with missiles” which definitely suggests it to be atleast 2x R-27 + 2x R-73 configuration. You know now that I look at the one from the manual more closely, the top three squares of the graph look more rectangularish while the bottom two rows are definitely square. Perhaps 90s book is right and it’s over 20 deg/s?

Yes it can be used in STT mode. Think of it as missile not working like SAHR/fox 1, but the radar using STT to send out datalink Do you have some source saying it can’t be used STT? AMRAAM can

Huh where you here this? My big question is will they fix the low G of the 29 from 870-1000 kmh. It can only pull like 7.5 G at best here. Real MiG-29 should be able to sustain 20 deg/s turn rate but right now only does 18.1 deg/s.

Then what is your question? You say something about fire or guide in SNP 2 is wrong but you also mention radar is in STT?

It is possible. I’ve seen small sections of manuals for planes that use R-77, and it works with STT, even if the radar is only receiving the position of the enemy and sending the datalink signal to R-77. It is how J-11A fires it.

Probably not, but I’m hoping it works as well with modded weapons as the FC3.. Many servers allow you to carry AGM-88 and PL-12.

What do you mean? I don’t expect Mi-24 to change unless they update SPO-10 (which is still missing a feature)or announce SPO-15LM
